Four foreign nationals are currently trapped in Taiwan following the powerful earthquake that struck the island on Wednesday, marking the strongest tremor in 25 years, as reported by the National Fire Agency (NFA).

Among the trapped individuals are two Canadian citizens who find themselves among a group of twelve people stuck in Taroko Gorge, a renowned tourist spot located in Hualien County, the epicenter of the earthquake. The group is awaiting rescue on the Shakadang Trail, a picturesque walkway that runs alongside turquoise waters near the entrance of the famous marble-walled canyon, according to the NFA.
